[SIPForum-discussion] G 723 Audio Codec Bit Rate

[sreekant nair]

Thanks Boris, 

However, the situation is a little bit more tricky. 

It was my understanding that codec negotiation is done using the SDP. I tried capturing the INVITE - 18X - 2XX msg using Ethereal to see if there is anything that specifies the bit rate that will be used. In all cases, the codec alone is specified. Even though G.723 supports dual bit rates, I could not find anything which explicitly states the bit rate. (At least Ethereal does not decode it so). Is there something I am missing here. 

During a test scenario, both nodes negotiated and agreed on G.723 but one node sent using 5.3kbps while the other replied with 6.3Kbps and the audio path was established. This was found by the amount of data bytes in the RTP packets - one way it was 20 while it was 24 in the reverse direction. 
My question was - Is it possible (both from a hardware/software perspective) to change the bit rates while an RTP session is in progress. So to change the bit rates, there is no need of codec re-negotiation and no UPDATE / RE-INVITE would be sent. Hence my confusion and requirement. 

Not sure if I made myself clear.

No it’s not
possible , if there are no codec renegotiation
 

  
 

There are no
compatibility between this two compressions

G 723 Audio Codec Bit Rate
 




  
 





Hi All, 
 






 
 






In our system being tested, one of the codecs used is G.723
audio codec
 






G.723 has two bit rates - 5.3Kbps & 6.3 Kbps. 
 






 
 






Is is possible that during a voice call, the codec can
dynamically change the bit rate between 5.3Kbps or 6.3 Kbps ?
 






 
 






Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. 
 






 
 






Thanks
